Mine is sort of done:
Made myself a ROTJ on an MGC with the new Bobadebt run parts. It was the ******* child of the DL-44 legacy and I never like it much... until I got it in my hands!!! I LOVE It now.
Some things not finished, are no rivets in pistons yet. I think I won't actually put holes in the gun to do this and will just use the rivet heads instead. They're adhered now with 3M vhb tape... so not budging anyway.
I also "weathered" the anodized parts with a light coat of satin black enamel...then worn away with steel wool. This gave the depth and weathering without killing the anodizing, or too much elbow grease. I gotta thank Bobadebt for that idea!
Some slight AL black on the flash hider for some slight weathering. The screen props didn't look too weathered on the FH, so I tried to replicate what I saw a little.
Hey all, here's mine just in from BobaDebt. It is fully assembled and painted. I'm extremely happy with the results! Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I had to take them in a hurry this morning as I was heading out the door.
Dude that is a fine looking blaster. What kind of paint did you use ?
Is it just me or does the "full scope" version look like is has screws instead of rivets holding the pistons on?
does look that way... but there's so many inconsistencies, I don't mind having mine an inbetweener
Scott,Just a light coat of black the whole thing and weathered down with steel wool
here's some more reference pics for you guys. I fixed these pics a bit (open in new tab/window for larger):
